On The River Coin And Fossil Hunting In Texas: Part 2

Join me and my friend Rusty for the afternoon portion of our river search for fossils, coins and other treasure in Texas. We found fossil bones, sharks teeth, Indian Head pennies, a seated dime, other silver coins and even a horse's lower jaw bone. We had a great time.

chigg if you ever read comments from people saying "they're arrow points not arrowheads hur dur", "you shouldn't pick up arrowheads", "respect native culture" don't even pay attention to them, my entire family or myself have never been offended by someone saying Indian or anything of the sort. I'm a full blooded turtle mountain chippewa Indian and damn proud of it.

[@ohdannyboy4727]

X K especially if he is keeping them from just eroding away. :/ Don't archeologists do the same thing? I think Chigg is just as responsible :/

[@ohdannyboy4727]

RanchStock Stray they are very special! well said!

[@SixRavenEight]

Agreed! Well said. Eastern Band Cherokee. Not FBI, but damn proud as well.

[@jphillips4371]

Actually in Texas “it’s illegal” to pick up arrowheads on public land

[@6SugaR6MiLK6]

@@jphillips4371 not true, it's illegal to go out and actively search for arrowheads and such on public or state land, but if you happen to find one and pocket it and get stopped by the law you will be fine, now if you get caught with a bunch or with a sifter....well that's gonna be a hefty fine.

[@karenv5103]

Those two fossils, the round one and the clam were really good finds. The clam is in perfect condition

[@stephaniem5091]

I actually find your video's quite therapeutic! I love fossil hunting. I found my first one a few weeks ago, whilst on holiday! I'd do it every day if I could... :)

[@randymorris8528]

Ha ha ha ha, it took 65 million years for that rock to get out of the mud and you threw it back... Keep the great vids coming...

[@treasuretrackertim3742]

I gotta say that I wish I was there. Awesome finds w/o the machine. Blisters heal, lol Thanks for sharing Aquachigger, It was great to tag along.

[@livefreeordie45]

At 12:28 there was a fossil you were pondering over. To my that did appear to be a fossilized tree of some sort.

[@geologyjohn1]

Today, Chig has introduced some of his viewers to a couple of new (ancient) critters, "Pelecypod" and "Orthoceras". But the seated dime works for me. Thanks Chig!

[@TexasTrez]

thanks for coming down. please come back and visit our other rivers and swimming holes, see what you can find!!! and of course, keep those awesome videos coming!!!

[@ronaldapger2875]

now this is the kind of video the people come to watch/ thanks chig

[@BassheadGTP]

I have that same bracelet. Was my dad's, has his name engraved on it. Sits up by his picture. RIP Dad.

[@MyNameBorax]

living vicariously thru chigg

[@robotslug]

CHIGGER, THAT WAS A COPROLITE AT 9:37! A GIANT POO! Probably the best thing you found the whole time and you dismissed it! That was definitely from some form of megafauna.

[@bruceande1]

Great entertainment Chigg. That last fossil scallop shell you found was a treat. Hope the wife enjoyed it!!!

[@6jmack]

How fun! I would love to come dig with you guys!!

[@lilianmcguigan9240]

I think of I had that fossel bed anywhere near me, I would camp out for the summer and explore and collect. Ty for showing us your adventure.

[@erichaskell]

At 13:13 the broken rock is orthoclase, made up of quartz and similarly hard minerals.

[@alanlovesmusic6442]

A.C - modern day Indiana Jones! I love these kinds of relic hunting. Never know what you're going to find!

[@HealthyFamilyVarietyChannel]

Alan Loves Music! we have some hunts in that same river if you'd like to check them out.

[@animaexnihilo56]

Healthy Family Variety Channel yep, we like your fossil hunts!!! Wish you had found silver there!!

[@AbandonedExplorationUrbex1979]

Alan Loves Music! yuppers

[@AbandonedExplorationUrbex1979]

I love seeing Chiggs finds!

[@alphapennsylvania9439]

Still too broke to afford a metal detector so I'm going to stay watching chigger.

[@alphapennsylvania9439]

I doubt they'd work since most of the ground around here is nothing but underground spring systems.

[@oliviasmith7044]

alpha Pennsylvania ditto.

[@9mmkahr]

@basil fawlty HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.... You cant be serious.

[@TheBootyHuntersMetalDetecting]

alpha Pennsylvania oh my gosh... Well you just come along with us too! We’d love to take you Booty Hunt’n! The Booty Hunters Metal Detecting on KZbin!

[@douglasmorgan9873]

Dude I wanted a garret atx forever but I couldn't afford it but I figured if I had $100 extra held out with my taxes I would be able to buy one in a year. I did just that after putting up horribly low pay for a year I am now the proud owner of a garret atx.

[@brendaseigler3923]

I like this video.... Metal detecting is on my bucket list .

[@MIgardener]

Part 3! PART 3!

[@grasssnake3826]

love your content, surprised to see you commenting here on chigg's vids

[@youbrenyou]

I like your channel. You're one of the genuine metal detector KZbin channels. A lot of the other channels plant coins and artifacts then pretend like they found it

[@Gracie_02]

Hi Chiggy, that's my kinda day. I enjoyed the video thanks for takin us along. ; ) michele

[@lt34102]

Chig, be very careful with those kind of injuries. We know you're a tough guy. I got an infection last year from two bizarre bacteria,came very close to amputation. We have some really funky critters down here. At least, carry some hand sanitizer, antibiotic and band aids.

[@xaviermyers3638]

I'm always happy to come home and see an aquachigger video waiting for me.

[@maxc9133]

Man the things I’d do to go metal detecting with this man!

[@Jessasaurus]

you inspired me to take a closer look at my river collection and what I thought was a pretty rock was actually 2500 year old pottery! now the state archaeologist is meeting with me to mark my find for future excavation!

[@carolv8450]

That is great!

[@musicx7633]

Wow I know I am replying a year late lol

[@Oliver-mh2tr]

Sickk

[@IFIXCASTLES]

I was enthralled!

[@andrewfnn4675]

I watch when im bored nice video!

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Enjoyed watching keep Up the good videos

[@ballisticbadger9955]

3:38 "My momma always said...." 😂🤣....

[@Mutlap]

round nail with number, usually are date markers for when the section of railroad was worked on.

[@coledarton1431]

We used a "mud bug" to pump the water out of the river then put boards up to control the way the water washed all the crap away.

[@CatalinaThePirate]

Ha! "...This is fun!..." - Aquachigger, 4:35 😆 Love it! 😏

[@debrawooding9842]

Hello Aquachigger! I'm a new metal detectorist, but not new at fossil hunting. This video was taken in MY FAVORITE SPOT of the river. I've been wondering if coins can be found there. I've see all kinds of rusted metal out there, but I haven't been there since buying my metal detector. Loved the video. Thanks for not telling the exact location!

[@whotheysaid]

I'm just starting this Video, and I am pumped you went back!!!!!!!!!!! Oh I am gonna enjoy this, ty sir in advance.

[@evanewbank3031]

this guy needs to be on Netflix

[@WayaWolf]

Evan Ewbank yeah

[@lisamedlin96]

💘 it. shame linsey couldn't go with u and get to hunt for fossils too. I found a quarter today removing the excess dirt- -mud from my front curbing. also a baby 🐍. it was gray. yes I said "WAS"! I don't do snakes and since it wasnt any kind of green I killed it. uugghh!

[@scottlund4562]

@2:49 the rock you set that on looks like a fantastic piece of knappable chert, my back would hurt cause that would go straight to the truck...if I did not start whacking flakes off it right there and then...sorry, I digress.

[@shelleyrambleson9198]

One word - GLOVES!

[@linr2870]

Nice seated dime!

[@OHIOspikey]

7:48 This sort of thing is always fun, no matter how old you are. Timeless entertainment :P

[@mikesquatch]

Looks fun!

[@mustang8812822]

sweet finds,,,, little bit of everything, ,, my wife says that I have a man crush on the chigg,,,, What! ,,, no I doooon't...keep searching I wanna see an arrowhead!

[@xanaxo8536]

Ive followed you forever and have enjoyed every moment of it! you always have suspenseful content and I love that! THANKS

[@Renizzzalwfl]

I love this channel so much

[@lizzymoore54]

Stalagmite or stalactite, perhaps? It would have very old, by the size of it. I love rocks, fossils, minerals, sharks teeth, Indian artifacts, animal info., Chiggar, your videos cover the whole kit-n-ka-boo-dil! 😉😊

[@windwalker763]

The fluted shells like the one @ 18:50 is a scallop.

[@fargostreasures2142]

Nice finds.

[@wendyvan7823]

wow...really neat!

[@PalmSandsRanch]

That railroad nail you found is a "date" nail. They used to be hammered into ties when they were installed. Had the year they were put in normally. Have many of them from the 30's myself, collected them when I used to work for UPRR, good quality ones have some value.

[@aldirtfisher3217]

going to have to get you a littel red wagen.lol

[@tef_newalbionpacificmedia]

Hey Aquachigger, been watching your video adventures, reminds me of when I use to do this a long time ago! This trip to Tejas was particularly interesting, I was watching closely as you panned the ground where you ere digging. OK, here is my theory of what you were digging in. Have you ever had to clean out an old garage or workshop? I did once for a fellow whose Dad had died, lots of old iron and other junk like what you were seeing. From what you were going through it looks like some old guy's workshop junk that the kids cleaned up, swept up, put in a wheel barrow a long time ago and dumped on the river. The stuff dated from the late 1800s through around 1950. I saw some whole bullets that were interesting, one looked like an old .32 short for a S&W break action revolver. My Great Granpa had one, its from the 1880s, plus I had the original cardboard box from the factory. As for the D ring, well from the looks of the WW1 period bullets you found [minus the shell casings?] and the rivets, probably from an old Sam Browne officer's belt from the the first world war. The bullets were military .45 ACPs and some .03 rounds, one looked like a .50 Cal even. A cool little glory hole for sure. I was digging on an old colonial house site in Virginia Beach when I was a kid near our house, away from the house I found what must have been a work shop, old tools, some bullets from the first world war, even some 1911 period buttons to boot, plus an old hammer, muzzle loading shotgun. Anyway, love watching your videos! Oh, one other thing, once I think I saw you found an old round brass disc with a square small hole in the middle and you thought it was some sort of washer? That was a WW2 collar insignia disc. the branch of service device with its screwback passed through the hole of the disc. I think you found some other WW2 related items too.

[@denniswhittaker2434]

Another great video 👍

[@breannathompson9094]

Maybe you can get a go pro and find a way to strap it to you where we always have a good view so you can dig with 2 hands and we can hear better if its closer to you as well. Love your discoveries lol, this place was cool. Can't wait til you're in AZ.

[@boundsgeorge]

seated dime was NICE ! thanks chig !

[@diggingappalachia954]

Wow Texas, way different than what we find in Pennsylvania

[@yessir863]

thanks for the vid Aquachigger enjoying it over a nice cup of coffee

[@aronk5099]

Shallow, broad rivers are just paradise. I know some as well and there are parts where you just need to pick up the coins.

[@nutsforyou98]

open the clam you may find a pearl

[@thomasroberts9752]

Excuse me sir but your next video poppin up on my right hand side says New Mexico not Arizona...hahaahahaa keep on smiling and digging Chig man

[@gezv06v]

Keep up the good work, really enjoy watching your vids. X

[@Ninjafossils]

The bone @14:50 is probably an astragalus of a large mammal. Probably a bison.

[@kentuckyfriedjoe7370]

What an awesome bar there! Nice finds!

[@panhandlesharkteeth7910]

Way to go ! Fixing to watch the video! Awesome!

[@outlawMrTuff]

great hunt!!

[@APOCOSIdejoelgarcia]

👏👏👏👏 hi friend !!! Good video

[@TheBootyHuntersMetalDetecting]

Hey this was fun too! Very informative and I can see I’m gonna like keeping up with you! Can’t wait for you to see what we find in Dinosaur Valley!

[@goodweld7562]

My uncle use to own some property in Comanche, Tx and I would always find arrowheads there. One day I found one that looked like it belonged to a spear. It was huge!

[@lazyliar409]

The rock you had that had the radiating line is caused by hitting the rock with another rock or antler causing a "bulb of percussion."

[@lizzymoore54]

It's a sacrum of something.😊

[@carsonc.2796]

I always get excited when you post a new video and I don't get excited about anybody else's videos

[@HealthyFamilyVarietyChannel]

Carson C. 😕

[@blkcat1254]

Hi,Choy Now you are in my birth place.i used to go fishing with my mum and I would rather hunt the banks instead and never got to find much. Have fun.

[@HealthyFamilyVarietyChannel]

2:30 same thing happened to me with a bunch of tiny shark vertebras last summer!!

[@tommyvinson6]

Very interesting hunt on the river

[@johnrobertson8156]

Railroad date nail that they put on ties when they installed them.

[@doesitcrush2093]

Nice finds

[@bigjarn]

I strongly believe the pile is flood tow brought downaream and left when the water lost momentum.

[@danielstarr9037]

At 13:55 right above and to the left of the hand I see a piece of something that could be a primitive cutting tool

[@tamitng]

Nice spot! Too bad you don't have any cut resistant gloves... Have fun!

[@Dabber234]

Legend goes rusty is still looking for his first coin in this creek

[@CWK1862]

You walked over 3 coins!

[@Five3Design]

Soooo happy! 2nd part! Wwwwooooohoooo! 😊

[@mcb2206]

Truckload of that chert would be nice!

[@HealthyFamilyVarietyChannel]

As my reaction video to Part 1 showed: I can't believe the Chigg is in 'MY' river...AND he found silver there!!!! I wish I could've been there to see that!!! (Well, I kinda am as I watch his)

[@animaexnihilo56]

Healthy Family Variety Channel did you find those Mosasaur and crocodile teeth there?? Those were nice!

[@WayaWolf]

Healthy Family Variety Channel oh my gosh, I just met you on the other video LOL, open more geodes

[@HealthyFamilyVarietyChannel]

Waya Vlogs hey! Good to see you again! Yep, been waiting for this Part 2! Some great finds...still 7min more to see

[@owenthec]

Healthy Family Variety Channel what's the name of the river?

[@HealthyFamilyVarietyChannel]

Owen Cesareo it is the sulfur river

[@maxnolen210]

if you come back to Texas be sure to stop at Jacobs well near San antone

[@ladykryss8311]

How fun! I kept thinking you need a pair of garden genie gloves for stuff like this tho digging around.

[@barrycurtis9090]

That old rusty "knife" was actually an old cutthroat razor.

[@ghosthunterchris8423]

agate thats awesome. id have a field day there.

[@deborahjaniak7531]

Way cool!

[@fourtwozero]

Not sure why but I especially enjoyed this one!

[@respectanimals2]

Awesome video and what amazing fossils , I would love to go there one day

[@Karim-il5df]

We watching your video from Switzerland 🇨🇭 and it's very interesting ! Good luck for next digging

[@sophiegough3791]

Love watching from The uk.

[@talk2kev]

Very cool spot . It would be hard not to go down there with some screens and sift through that material. have someone digging some running the screen and trade off you would find so much stuff. Great video

[@craigfurey942]

That "squid like" fossil is a cephalopod, possibly an orthoceras to be specific.

[@normstephens8354]

I think nautiloid was what you were trying to think of. They were the first cephalopods. Some of your geodes just looked like chert nodules to me. You'll have to come to southern Indiana sometime to find some real geodes. :-)

[@frankedgar6694]

That “natural formation” looks like it might be a cast of a portion of the inside of a borrow.

[@Fannysadventures]

Que pasada de fosiles!!! Ojalá pudiera tener algunos de esos!! Buen video y un saludo desde España!
