River Metal Detecting For Relics

[@danweiss4928]

The tool you found was an old wood boring bit attached to a T handle. Pretty cool. Mid 17 early 1800s

[@jayasinme]

I agree I have one! missing the wood.

[@GKall-tw4dp]

I agree

[@arnoldhillbillygrizzlyputm1493]

Yes a big hand auger mostly used for log cabins an fencing etc .

[@harrisonmantooth3647]

@@arnoldhillbillygrizzlyputm1493 👍 I've seen Wranglerstar and Sean James (my self reliance)use them during construction of their buildings. Great find Beau.

[@arnoldhillbillygrizzlyputm1493]

@@harrisonmantooth3647 yes me too thou shawn james is more awesome an more in depth with it as he prefers the 300 yr plus type tools an really shows how hard you worked to eat an sleep etc .

Hi from the UK love your videos as I'm self isolating not because I have the virus but my age and health your videos have given me plenty to keep me busy I love being able to watch you look for artifacts

[@TS-bn7zt]

Take care and stay safe, keep watching the Chigg I find his videos very relaxing.😊

[@joebwell6315]

Can’t wait for your next cave video 👍😁

Watched your video on the book review of artifacts viginia...... Looking foward to digging into it when i comes in the mail

[@jayasinme]

Do you have to file a caveing permit with the state like Indiana?

[@gjd2437]

After a 10 hour shift i enjoy nothing more than your videos

[@tracythorn2918]

It's always fun to watch what the Chigg is up to. That rounded flattened bullet probably hit something soft but dense, like a body. The exploded shell would look great on the shelf next to an intact shell.

[@susansmith6680]

Bullets are some of my favorites. Love the "smooshed" ones for sure.

[@Blackys-Boy]

at 10:55 that looks like an auger drill. Also called a ship's auger because they were used in boat building

[@Blackys-Boy]

Forgot to mention, they were also used in timber framing. Barn builder would use them to drill holes in beams to peg the joints

[@juliealbert9222]

Loved the splat bullets the most

[@dougalexander7204]

Little before 13:00 you forgot to say “hold your breath” and I got water up my nose and nearly drowned.

[@zebrathing69]

best comment ever

[@dougalexander7204]

@@zebrathing69 take care and stay awesome.

[@richardwarnock2789]

Thank's Beau for the Adventure very nice finds that nail is stone tool wedge for splitting granite or redstone!!!; )

[@thomasfletcher4765]

Enjoying all of your videos , I think the old bullets are awesome ( river treasure is river treasure no matter what you find , that old stuff is cool )

[@gayeyount7948]

Love the river adventures. Caves n it so much. I watch them. I just have an unreasonable fear of closed spaces. Stay safe

[@rogerdempsey7227]

Great day to see you again in the water awesome can't beat that chigger 👍

[@paulwise9307]

Brilliant very interesting I like all the bullets great job

[@P.B.Theriver]

The long wood piece with the hitch is part of a cannon carriage. The cannon is in the middle of the river. If you find it I want half of it, lol.

[@evilal20]

That's what I thought as well.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou for showing us.

[@AndrexT]

The nail is a pipe tamper for smoking a pipe. There are two other parts to it, a spike and a bowl reamer. Your T-Tool is a woodworking auger, The twisted part has rotted out because it is thinner,

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

Thanx Chigg..... love finding civil war bullets... The flat ones were definitely AWESOME !!!! Another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see ya on the next

[@mandymitchell6388]

Always enjoy watching!😊

[@BigJohn4516]

At this point, pull tabs are a relic too. I can’t remember the last time I saw a can with a ring pull tab.

[@mattheweastham1852]

You got nailed !!!!!!!!!

[@johnnyphillips9735]

Nice finds chigg always like your videos its spring that means metal detector season is here

[@f.k.burnham8491]

2:15 Looks like a wedge from a wedge & feather set for splitting rock. 9:31 appears to be the tongue of a wagon or piece of farm equipment. 10:38- Tough one. Could be a spike still in a piece of rotten wood, or the top handle end of a auger.

[@vonbottorff7141]

The T handle tool looks like it could be used for fighting vampires, a vampire pick axe. LOL

[@JaySmith-cd1ln]

Cheers mate! 😀

[@ramp7t]

That big hunk may be a form of slag from an old furnace. Its silicone and bits of iron. Here in the North West corner of Connecticut there is a lot of this near old furnaces. Just a thought.

[@christopherbraiden6713]

Thanks for the video very interesting!!😎🦇🦇🇬🇧

[@dbostic96]

Ya know hot rocks could be meteorites, and they are valuable.

[@nolipo]

Is it bad that I actually hold my breath when you take us underwater? Lol Love your vids!

[@travissmith5525]

Thanks for sharing Sir Chig!

[@brian70Cuda]

Thank you Chigg:)

[@kylerjanovec3906]

Do you ever find steel trade arrow tips?

[@scottcoffman8306]

Another fine video, Chigg never disappoints. The T handle looks a lot like a wood bore often used for timber framing. The other piece looks a lot like the remains of wagon tongue. all and all a very good vid.

[@randlerichardson5826]

That bullet hit something hard close great video Chigg be safe and GOD BLESS Chigg Amen 🙏

[@johnfernigan3855]

all kinds of good things.

[@marthafenimore4279]

A really good selection. Enjoyed every minute.

[@veb92168]

Love your videos!

[@thomasozburn6358]

The t handled thingy could be an auger or part of it or I've seen longer ones that had a it for water shut offs

[@brentlittlefield2099]

Yes!!! Loving the river adventures woohoo!

[@jimarsenault394]

The flat wide “nail” looks like part of a rock wedge used for splitting rock. Possibly they where quarring stone from that ledge for a foundation.

[@Snarkapotamus]

If I'd have looked through the comments first, I'd have noticed ya beat me to it...

[@richardperkins6132]

Hay chigg, great to see ya back on the water before it becomes to cold to get out or becomes frozen. Always a great day when your out finding those civil war bullets an war relics. Good looking creek to be on as well. An yes always look for those native artifacts when on the creek also. I have found alot of them in the days gone by when out on the creeks metal detecting. Great video chigg. Hope to see more of ya in the coming weeks before mother nature changes things up on us. As always safe an happy hunting/digging. 😁👍👍

[@billh6270]

Wood drill bit!

[@alansullivan5913]

I like bullets Mr Chigg great video and finds thanks

[@dorfsteen]

This reminds me of the good old days when the chigger would find all kinds of cool stuffing very little wasting time just digging and finding digging and finding excellent😁

[@MACD69]

Seeing new videos from you always puts a smile on my face 😁

[@petervonpanda]

So cool!!!

[@shawn.bourke.3]

haha "Civil War or Way Before" would make a good channel name or motto

[@tonycurry3352]

Thanks man.

[@huntingtreasure8855]

THE NAIL COULD BE A KNIFE HANDLE

[@zw5509]

I can watch bullet digging all day long. It makes your imagination run wild. I have a couple of old muskets that I found washed up on the NJ shore, many years ago. The came from a Gun Runner ship bringing arms to the South from Europe. They were obviously antiques even then. Axe marks on the stocks where the guns were broken and thrown overboard when the ship was seized. Anyway, the barrels are really thick like that piece you found. Maybe that is Colonial era?

[@diggerash7325]

Awesome

[@jalspach9215]

2:06 Rock splitting wedge?

HOORAY RIVER RELICS

[@cleggsadventures]

I’ve found some Civil War bullets, but only a few. Nice finds as always.👍

[@blizash]

I would like to see a Samsquanch tshirt. :)

[@jamesmarshalla8565]

Man Chigg! You find some of the neatest antiques metal detecting. You most likely have a great museum of your own, if not you should, I would pay to see it!😊👍

[@joshuasizemore4862]

Gotta watch out for those Samsquanchs

[@markmccarty9505]

You are over a million subs. Wooo hoo. Buddy

[@markmccarty9505]

Special video is needed

[@charleszimmermann7784]

Do you think that unknown metal crud could be clinkers form a coal forge?

[@gloppie3139]

That special nail you found. It looked like a smoking pipe cleaner, Used to clean out the bowl.

[@stopurcryin3701]

That old wooden pick looking thing could be a ancient murdddddder weapon

[@craig4557]

You make it look so easy. I’ve found out it’s not at all!

[@kathycruse6693]

Kathy from Iowa. Just found yall today.

[@dougalexander7204]

The tool might be an old tee shaped arbor drill. Be interesting to see it after rust removal. Stay awesome Chigg.

[@chrisgatlin9072]

Great video as always. Have you ever checked the hot-rocks out to make sure they're not meteorite fragments?

[@scottt8424]

Hey man thank you for the video and you know what buy this video herejust made me think to myself when I get my piece of property it's going to have a stream so I might buy a machine like you have and go relic hunting myself who knows I might find something good on my own land that I own when the time comes

My comment to show support for your Video is as follows. -Big Thumbs Up

[@VickieV1333]

Wrong way Corrigan...😂🤣

[@ScottEisenhuth]

Hi, I'm enjoying your river relic hunting video. Can you recommend a metal detector for a new guy just getting started. I'd like to do the same type of river relic hunting that you are doing in this video. Thanks

[@spuddyspud8178]

Love your videos,Have you found any more caves to explore, did anything become of the last cave you found and explored.

[@mathewpennington7049]

Boy that Garrett at pro has just as many miles as you f250 has lol. Love the videos buddy!

[@jessedenning9214]

How do you go about water proofing your detector, so that when it gets laid down in the water it doesnt get ruined ?

[@jbirdification]

Why are dropped bullets more desirable than fired?

[@13bravoredleg18]

I pulled a 3" exploded Hotchkiss shell out of my creek a month ago. Still looking for the sabot and base.

[@efo1358]

Thank you, I’m still get over Eddie VanHalen! It’s sad, but you’re giving me a good of fun! 🙏❤️👍😇

[@MikeMcInroe]

Glad you are back digging treasure and making videos! When do you think you will start making your hats available? Mike in sunny Florida

[@508Magnets]

Could that tool be an auger of sorts? For ice or maybe trees?

[@1gearwrench]

Are you sure that the big black shiny chunks that you keep finding are not coal for a furnace the shapes look like it to me. high quality coal is light. Coal with trash in it is heavy.

[@larryb7510]

Could the little piece of tapered pipe, be a pistol barrel?

[@hash46176]

Does the garrett at pro come with water proof coil

[@randlerichardson5826]

I’ve bout learned the names of the different bullets now Chigg

[@michaeldouglas1243]

What model and brand metal detector would you personally recommend for a beginner just starting the hobby?

[@RonJustDiggingLife]

Woot woot 1st love me some chig!!!

[@krazykat4349]

That chunky thing looked like iron slage .I think it also know as man made obsidian..

[@georgeking4450]

How much do you sell the bullets for?

[@wendymorrison5803]

That flay nail looked like a "feather" for splitting stone.

[@joebwell6315]

That T shaped thing you found is an old wood drill

[@normawinton6832]

Sure would like too find some of those 69 cal. Bullets from the civil war. All im finding are musket balls lol. Enjoy the water Beau.!!

[@johnsnyder4143]

The wood with a shackle could be a wagon tongue

[@bigjarn]

the nail looks like a rock splitting feather.

[@JS-wc4xs]

I really enjoy seeing all those bullets, especially the deformation. Are all metal detectors water resistant? I'm looking to start looking for gold in the rivers of Colorado and I don't have much $ to spend. The garret carrot is on my list to buy, but I'd like to know what detector to get

[@johnsnyder4143]

The iron with wood T handle could be an old drill

[@maytagmark2171]

You should have a whale of a pull tab collection by now. LOL.

[@drewbrush9693]

Bo bo whatcha know????hold your breath!!!!!!

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Got some really interesting bullets on this hunt!

[@hankhankenhunter3876]

Hey, Chigg, great vid. Was wondering what you do with all those bullets. You must have collected at least a hundred pounds, or more by now, not including all the scrap lead, and fishing weights. I highly doubt you'd sell them for scrap. Ebay? Thanks, Hank

[@randlerichardson5826]

Hey Chigg glad to see you buddy it’s been a few days

[@urbanairgunner6402]

that T handle thing looks like it could have been some kind of an a drill like a hand auger just a thought hope you're well my friend

[@andymuskopf8473]

I wonder if the hot rock could be "coke", a type of coal product that was used in certain types of furnace?

[@andymuskopf8473]

At least I hope it is because I would be very proud of myself if I knew something that you didn't. 😉

[@randlerichardson5826]

Thanks to you I meant to say on the bullets names
