Searching A Pre-Civil War Home In Virginia For Relics And Coins

Please join me and RelicManMatt as we search an old home that dates back to the 1700's. This home was once owned by Matt and he lived there and metal detected the yard over the course of seven years. At that time he was using a Garrett Ace 150 and found many colonial coins, Spanish Reales, Civil War buckles, bullets, and buttons. We had hoped that he probably missed a lot that we would be able to hear with newer machines. You can check out Matt's KZbin channel here: / @relicmanmatt
About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my KZbin "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

Thank you Chigg. Your videos always make me smile and today I needed that!

I live half-way between Knoxville and Chattanooga TN. I actually found a couple of oxen shoes last year,here in a friend's back yard.

I hear the road traffic in the background, modern times, and here is Chigg enveloped in history. Chigg the bridge.

This guy from New England thought you said "auctions" when you said "ox shoes"! 🤣🤣 Love your channel. brother.

Great meeting you at the Garrett hunt! Thanks for sharing your adventures! Ro

That was a fun get together. Thanks

Bo, were not all that different, bout the same age, couple of old infantry guys! Thanks for another Awesome Video !

[@tlarson865]

the "lead solder ingot" is a stick on wheel weight for balancing wheels, goes on the inside barrel of the wheel. each segment is a pre determined amount so you can break off what you need.

[@JustPlainSteve5372]

Looks like Matt's already pretty much cleared the place out, but seems like you both really enjoyed yourselves. Thanks for taking us along.

[@aquachigger]

Yeap, he lived there for many years and had plenty of time to do that. It was interesting to see how we would do though.

[@publiccharge3847]

Surprising what the ACE series machines can do. I hunted with an ACE 300 for 2 years and absolutely killed it, especially on civil war bullets. Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see you on the next

[@aquachigger]

See ya then!

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

I have AT Pros and a Max. And I still take my Ace 250 and 150's out. They do a fine job. If the site feels good I'll go back over it with the AT's and different coils on them. That's the kind of site I'd run several machines over 👍

[@aquachigger]

You are right about that.

[@andrewterry1801]

That lead ingot are wheel balancing weights they stick to inside of your alloy rims that’s why they have weights stamped on them, as they come in different sizes lol

[@aquachigger]

I've never seen those used as wheel weights. How are they attached?

[@andrewterry1801]

Very common in England they stick on self adhesive 👍

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

​@@aquachigger they're "sticky weights" they have some serious sticky tape that sticks around the inside of the rim. Typically used on fancy wheels because they don't scratch the bead area.

[@aquachigger]

@Andrew I've never seen those. Thanks

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

[@henrybucki7813]

looked like a nice day to be hunting neat things lost in the ground keep up the search

[@tarstakars]

Strange metal object with a spout is a coffee basket from a percolator. The segmented lead strip is an adhesive backed group of wheel weights used in the inside of decorative chrome or mag rims.

[@tonystephens6858]

My grandmother has a farm between Stephens City and Winchester, Virginia. They used to find stuff every year when they plowed in the Spring. She used to have a wooden crate that she kept everything they would find. There must've been 30+ belt buckles with "CS" stamped in the center. .

[@ralyndacumbie8967]

I got to melal detected my back year and found little metal army men. I found out that they were my Uncles toys when he was a kid. Back story I live in the home my Grandfather built. I hope you have a blessed day.

[@BIGALL7777]

[@granvillewooster7673]

[@deathatsix]

The 3 section thing you found mentioning ingots, looks like more modern wheel weights to me. Especially with the weight stamp on it.

And we are searching the interweb for a relic and coin hunting video by Mr. Aquachigger.

[@ronwatson4287]

[@BuddyChartrand]

If Matt had been detecting with a White's 2TRDX, all the relics would still be there just waitin'.

[@raynin]

Gosh darn it! I was gardening!

[@aquachigger]

Gotta garden while the sun shines!

[@feathercatcher]

Indeed that fuse did bring back memories. The one of few arguments I remember my parents getting into was over a fuse like that. We burnt a fuse something like that and my dad put a penny in it just until morning. (Most store back then closed at 8pm) My mother had a fit! Said he was trying to burn down the house lol. I didn't see the problem with it, it worked. I guess I'm a old timer 🤷‍♀️🤣 I've gone from vintage to antique a long time ago😂

[@PBRSUPERSTAR]

You said a log cabin button... I recently found a log cabin button that is a 1838 William Henry Harrison presidential campaign button here in Michigan. You are by far my favorite KZbin detectorists by the way. It's very informative and you've taught me a lot that is help me find relics in my area

Hi my friend enjoy your videos

[@cowtownokla]

I believe the lead object that said 26 grams was a wheel weight.

[@dustingreen9075]

We were using those fuses in the 80s - house from the 30s. I hope the new owners have upgraded the box since then.

You're first item is a fleshing knife or a joint knife for motor. Can't tell if it's been sharpened.

[@gregorywillis2447]

You know that you can put a penny behind that 30amp fuse and make the system work. Not safe but it works.

Just bought a long sleeve tee and a sweatshirt to help the channel. Didn't see any hats....? Bonfire?

Bo when are you going to go in that cave/sink hole that’s by the side of that road and leads under that house. You were stopped by rocks and you said you were going to go back sometime with a hammer and chisel and make hole so you can continue your exploration.

In the next month or so. It's on my schedule. Should be a fun adventure.
